Compliance 

Every action matters. For a lifetime of secure connections.

"There is a norm we live and work by at NORMA Group: to build 'secure' connections for every day of our working lives. As a leader in Joining Technology, secure connections are the bedrock of everything we do. This fires our commitment for building and maintaining integrity, reliability and transparency in our business practices. We are determined to drive positive change and make a relevant impact through the way we conduct our business and build relationships: with each other, as much as with every other person and business we come in contact with. This is what Compliance at NORMA Group is all about - because secure connections are the fundamentals of our business."

Whistleblowing system

NORMA Group encourages all employees, across hierarchical positions, to report violations of laws, regulations and internal policies. In addition to contacting supervisors and using the various contact options, an Internet-based whistleblower system is also available. The whistleblower system allows internal and external whistleblowers to maintain their anonymity while reporting cases of concern to NORMA Group’s global compliance organization.

Compliance is not a word used to make us at NORMA Group look and sound good. It’s a commitment grounded in a framework and sound action plan for policies that are acknowledged by all employees. At the core is the Compliance Management System, set in place to establish transparent and legally viable directives for NORMA Group. The System embraces our Code of Conduct, with its relevant guidelines, together with a range of training courses based on our corporate values and standards.

Our Compliance Organization is equipped with firm preventive procedures against violations. Members of the Organization are at hand to advise employees and in fact, all our business partners and associates. They are also there to handle reports of possible violations of our Code of Conduct. NORMA Group has set up a whistleblowing system that offers employees and external parties another way to submit compliance reports confidentially and, if necessary, anonymously.
